About this work

This painting has three black splotches on a light background. One is small and sits at the top right. The other two are bigger, one slightly larger than the other, placed below it. The shapes look hand-painted, with rough edges. The artist made these shapes with simple ink strokes on paper. No other details are visible—just the black marks against the light color.
